I tried to convince myself that shooting from the parking area would show the gritty realism of a run-of-the-mill fireworks show, but after I saw a few great shots of the same show on the Internets I was bummed out by my laziness. I did find the blurry ghosts of the people dashing out to beat the traffic an interesting aspect of the photos, however.
I liked this one because a woman walked right in front of the camera carrying a blinking-glow-wand thing.
